Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Irvington address and unloads right where you point.
Irvington gets about 69 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter on every job. Fill dirt gives you a stable, compactable base that lets water shed where you want it to.
Fill dirt is the workhorse material for raising grade, filling holes and backfill. It contains no organic matter, so it will not settle or rot over time. For any project that needs bulk volume underground, this is what you order.
For most jobs in Irvington, the one product you need is standard fill dirt. It comes from local sources and is screened to remove debris.
| Product | What it's for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Structural material with no organic matter, compacts well for stable fills |
Here are five typical projects that call for fill dirt, with guidance on how much to order for each.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Depths vary; order enough to reach grade plus allowance for settlement |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compacted lifts of 8 to 12 inches work best; use the fill dirt calculator |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Place in layers and compact to prevent future settling |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade and compact; settle time is short because dirt has no organics |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Spread and grade; target grade depends on drainage needs |
About 26 days a year drop below 32F in Irvington. Freezing temperatures like that affect the work window and how much the ground moves. But frost is not a significant factor here, so the ground stays workable most of the year. The timing question is moisture rather than season.
About 79 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That makes scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important. Wait for a dry stretch or plan to let wet material dry before compacting.
Soils mapped in the Irvington area are commonly well drained. That means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your specific site. The ground around Irvington is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, you need less drainage stone under the surface compared to heavier soils. In 2024, Mobile County permitted about 1,377 single-family homes, which means lots of new pads and grading work happening nearby.
Estimating the right tonnage starts with measuring the area and the depth you want to fill. Tonnage is volume times the material's density, and a lift of compacted fill dirt typically weighs in the range of 2,200 to 2,800 pounds per cubic yard.
